Head Coach of Ghana\u2019s Black Stars, Otto Addo, has bemoaned his side\u2019s wastefulness in front of goal in the frustrating 1-1 draw with Chad in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers at the Marshal Idriss Deby Itno Olympic Stadium.<\/p>\n

The matchday seven encounter in N\u2019Djamena ended in a stalemate as Jordan Ayew\u2019s opener was cancelled out in the dying embers by the hosts through forward Ecua Celestin, denying Ghana all three points.<\/p>\n

It was Chad\u2019s first point in the qualifiers after losing all their previous six.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a lot of chances, we could have killed the game before, or we must have killed the game before, but we didn\u2019t do it,\u201d Otto said at the post-match conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had one big chance, I think there were some wide shots from Chad, but other than that, there was no big chance, just one deflection in the goal. So yeah, it\u2019s really, really disappointing for us. I want to congratulate Chad for getting the point, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghana still lead Group I with 16 points, three points ahead of second-placed Madagascar and four points clear of Mali, who are in third place after seven matchdays in the African Qualifiers.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars will now focus on the game against Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
